Abstract

Learning English is generally hindered by the limited use of visual aids. As a result, students' understanding of the English language is not fully achieved, and the learning process becomes less active due to a lack of interaction between teachers and students. Therefore, it is necessary to incorporate teaching aids to enhance student learning outcomes after using unit teaching aids. This research employed an experimental method with a Pretest-Posttest Control Design. The study was conducted in Class V at SDN 69 Palembang, where the VA class served as the control group and the VB class as the experimental group. Data on understanding the concept of measurement were collected from the results of pre and post-tests administered to both groups. The data analysis revealed that the average score of understanding in the control group during the initial test was 54.38%, which increased to 71.04% by the end of the test. On the other hand, the average score in the experimental class during the initial test was 52.95%, which improved to 80.23% by the end of the test. Therefore, the effective use of unit teaching aids benefited the Class V students at SDN 69 Palembang.

The main problem in this research  is: what are the elements that influence the attitudes and experiences of EFL teachers in implementing multiliteracy, and how can EFL teachers be used as role models for implementing multiliteracy in terms of their attitudes and experiences? The purpose of this research is to find out how the attitudes and experiences of teachers towards students during the learning process affect them and how multiliteracy can be applied during the teaching and learning process, whether it makes learning effective or vice versa. This research was carried out at SMP PGRI 1 of Palembang. This research was carried out using qualitative methods. First, the researcher made observations at school to find out how effective the teaching and learning process was in class, especially in English lessons.

Abstract

This research aimed to describe the dynamics of classroom interaction and examine the factors influencing it. The researcher utilized qualitative methods, including classroom observation, semi-structured interviews, and questionnaires. The findings revealed that the teacher predominantly led and controlled the interaction. Good interaction only occurs at the beginning of the lesson, so for the most part, the teacher initiates and the students only responded to the teacher by giving answers in the form of phrases or words.  For interaction between students they are interacted with their friends most of the time. But, mostly, it was not related to the English topic discussed.  The researcher also found several factors affecting classroom interaction, such as students' lack of motivation, hesitancy to speak and engage in class discussions due to limited vocabulary, embarrassment, and fear of making mistakes.

Abstract

The impact of technology on contemporary living is substantial. Program changes are required in education to close the gap between present and future teaching and learning technology. During the learning process, using applications as instructional material is a workable strategy. Finding out how to use the Cake Application in English classes for students and examining the opportunities and difficulties encountered in doing so at Vocational High School 8, Palembang, are the goals of this research. Data were gathered by the researcher using observation, questionnaires, and documentation, all of which were qualitative methods. The outcome demonstrates that the Cake application is successfully used in the English language learning process and can boost students' motivation to learn the language. The Cake app is user-friendly, free of intrusive advertisements, packed with features, and offers a ton of videos arranged according to quiz level and category. Additionally, students can improve their grades and fix errors with the Cake program. One of the difficulties in utilizing this software for both students and teachers is that not every curricular item can be found in the Cake app, therefore educators have to make adjustments. The Internet connection, smartphone batteries, smartphone storage capacity, and the requirement for hearing aids for the listening phase were more issues.
